The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Oct. 5, 1%7—PAGE 3 The problem of air pollution was the center of discussion in Miami Beach, Florida, Septem ber 25 and 26, and the princi pal conclusion of the conference conducted by the National As sociation of Counties was that there is a new awareness on the part of the public of the dangers of indiscriminate air pollution. Here in South Carolina, we are fortunate in that we have few pollution problems, but unfortunate in that we are situated in an area of pro nounced temperature inversion, the very atmospheric condition which confounds the experts trying to clear the air in Los Angeles, one of the worst smog cities in the nation. The warning, then, to South Car olina is obvious: Should we inadequately prepare for our industrial expansion and take steps to control the emission of pollutants, or good air could become a menace to the health of all our people. Because we are in the threshold of the problem, we as South Carolinians have an unusual opportunity not shared by the industrial centers of the nation. We can take steps now to control the growth of pollu tion, working in advance while we still have time. The new public awareness of the problem is an encouraging sign that we can solve it. The statistics regarding air pollu tion are becoming more and more uncomfortably clear, as are the implications of tho<‘' statistics. Three of every five Americans are now breathing dangerously polluted air. This fact alone should stir every American businessman, govern ment official, housewife, and man on the street—that some thing must be done, and be done right away, to halt the spread of this menace. We have no choice but to breathe the air around us, but we in South Carolina have a chance to keep the air we breathe safe and clean.
